Why Most Transformations Fail—And How Leaders Can Get It Right

Presented by Darrel Popowich

President, Transformation Craft Inc.

70% of transformations fail—not because of poor strategy or technology, but because leaders miss the subtle human dynamics that sabotage progress. In this session, we’ll explore the culture clashes, relationship breakdowns, and goal misalignments that derail change. Leaders will walk away with clear visual tools and leadership strategies to create alignment, build trust, and drive sustainable success—without burning out their teams or themselves.
